    Ford 3000

    Thanks for the advice. I actually bought the tractor today. I told the seller yesterday that I wasn't interested because of the odd shifting and he called today and said after adjusting the linkage from the shifter to the transmission it shifts fine. So I went back and sure enough it's good...

    Ford 3000

    I just looked at it and passed on it but I could buy it tomorrow still. It runs good and drives good but the select onshift seems to be missing some speeds. It goes in all the speeds but it feels like it has 1,2,3, 4th is the same as 3rd, 5th, 6ths is the same as 3rd, 7th is a big jump, 8th is...

    Ford 3000

    I'm going to look at a Ford 3000 this evening and wondered if anyone had any advice for me. It's a 1968 with the select o shift tranny and power steering but the guy says it doesn't have a hydraulic remote. So 2 questions I have are 1. Is the pump for the hydraulics there and I just need to...

    Super M hydraulic problem / motor problem

    wow thanks so much for getting all that info! I will probably know soon enough if the cam and gear that are in it now are the old or new style once it's apart. I suppose either way it needs to get fixed so that's the road I'll take unless I find something catastrophic happened in there. Not...

    Super M hydraulic problem / motor problem

    No engine driven pump actually makes sense because the resivour on this tractor is in the belly where a pump would go otherwise. Maybe it had a belly pump oriiginally and someone along the way added a live pump. I'm not sure what numbers are the serial numbers on the engine but I see these...

    Super M hydraulic problem / motor problem

    Serial number is F-22564 J if anyone could tell me for sure if that means the stronger gear was in it or not.

    Super M hydraulic problem / motor problem

    I thought my super m had the same cam as the newer ones? I checked the serial number as best I could with a post somewhere on here and I thought mine was the newer style anyways. So maybe it's a freak thing that this happened and I shouldn't expect it to ever happen again? But I'm Leary about...

    Super M hydraulic problem / motor problem

    Also, if this is a common problem maybe I should get it fixed and then get a different tractor? I use the m for raking hay, pulling wagons, and baling occasionally. If it doesn't have a good enough or reliable hydro system it makes it pretty tough to rake hay with. I think my rake needs 2000...

    Super M hydraulic problem / motor problem

    Well I checked the oil pressure this morning and you're right, no pressure. I guess I will check around and see if I can find someone to fix it for me. Anyone near Grand Rapids, MI that you guys know of? Or anyone want a weekend project?

    Super M hydraulic problem / motor problem

    I will check the oil pressure thing but if it needs cam something or another should I fix it or sell it as is and move on to something newer? How much of a pain is changing a cam? I really like the m because i learned to drive a tractor on one and I just like it. And I've made it my own by...

    Super M hydraulic problem / motor problem

    i just got a chance to check and its not the gear on the pump. Turn it over and the starter spins the engine fast, push the lever while turning it over and it bogs the starter right down but the distributor spins the whole time. That's so sad because I finally got this thing in really nice...

    Super M hydraulic problem / motor problem

    Wow thanks for the quick response! That's a good point about the gear without a key still spinning without a load. I will check that this evening and see if that's it. I hope so

    Super M hydraulic problem / motor problem

    Hi all, I've been reading the forum for a while but finally ran into a problem that I can't fix by searching old posts so I'll post it and hopefully one of you can help. My super m has always run great but the live hydraulic pump was pretty much blown out. I tried to take it apart and fix...
